pkgwat

Pkgwat is a ruby gem for querying gem versions from RPM repos. It's based off of pkgwat.cli and it uses apps.fedoraproject.org/packages.

gem install pkgwat

Alternatively, if you're using a Gemfile, just add this:

gem 'pkgwat'

Inside your code, simply require rubygems and pkgwat. Then you use it like so:

Pkgwat.get_versions("rails")

# this will return true or false if the package exists
Pkgwat.check_gem("pry", "0.9.10", ["Fedora EPEL 6", "Fedora 19", "Rawhide"])

To check your gems in bundler against Fedora repos, run:

rake pkgwat:check

• ruby 2.0 (or greater)
• rvm (optional but recommended)
• rubygems
• bundler (gem install bundler)

To develop pkgwat, check out the git repo and bundle:

git clone git@github.com:daviddavis/pkgwat.git pkgwat
cd pkgwat # accept the rvmrc file
bundle install # run bundler

Then just fire up irb:

irb -Ilib -rpkgwat
>> Pkgwat.get_versions("runcible")
=> [{"release"=>"Rawhide", ...

To run the pkgwat test suite execute via rake:

rake test

Also you can run an individual test:

ruby -Itest test/pkgwat_test.rb

To record your interactions via VCR and use the actual web APIs:

rake test mode=all
